Well…it was an okay night last night and with no cocktails, I feel okay today…I still think I have a bug of some sort that came on yesterday but the coughing is better so far this morning…but I haven’t done much so maybe I’m wrong….it was nice to get a bike ride in yesterday but I am sore from it today…it looks like I can go again today and even into next week so that will be a nice head start on piling up the miles again this year…T leaves for the Bahamas tomorrow and i will miss the daily texts I get from her…but she really needs the fun and sun…not much to do today…resumes and more resumes, of course, and the grocery run here in a few minutes but that is about it….I am going to slow cook a pork loin all day and that will be good then nothing but a few cocktails later…I will be back later with two more and then I’ll be caught up for the month…

Trying to get caught up…
Well…as you know, I have been running behind since the start of the year…really, it started in December and it has been a little difficult to be creative and have something pertinent to say…I think I’ve got a block of some sort and I’m not sure what to do about it…just noodling around has worked before so maybe I’ll give that a try….I am coming down with something and have been coughing like crazy all day…couldn’t figure out why I’ve been so tired lately even when I’ve been good..I think I’ll blame it on the virus and just sit here for a day or so just wallowing in being sick…I just wish I would have gotten the groceries today when I felt okay…now, it will be an ordeal tomorrow morning…but, I’m still fortunate that I can just come back here and get some rest…or, maybe this is a one day thing and I’ll feel great tomorrow…
I wonder if I should comment on more repub nonsense here….and there is so much to say about that…from ole Mitts repeating the same speech every day for the last week…real creativity there…if I have to hear him quote “America the Beautiful” one more time I think I’m going to puke….that’s about it for now…running out of steam and I’m going to veg out for a while…
January 5th
Well…another day and I did have a little fun meeting G for a couple but I was good when I got back here so I feel okay today…well…my okay and that is a bit less than good I think. Have been eating way too much salty food lately and when I got up this morning, my toes looked like little sausages from the water retention…so, I need to get as much water in me as I can today to counteract it…not something you want to hear, I’m sure but that’s part of my life and I’ve shared other things like that…I did have some dreams after I woke up at 3:14 but there was nothing memorable so I don’t remember it…well…I do but it’s just more not getting a job stuff that I’m sure you’re getting bored with…I know I am…not much to do today…debating with myself whether to get groceries today but I need a day off to rest the liver so I’ll probably wait until tomorrow…I will be back to try to catch up later…
January 4th
Well…a pretty good sports night last night with both Michigan and the Wings winning…but Michigan looked really bad in doing it so there was a lot of luck involved…and it was a cocktail night so I went to bed early and feel a little crappy today…but I am taking the rest of the week off so the liver will get a rest….no dreams to report…or anything else, really…did have a couple with T yesterday and it is always great to see her and laugh a bit…not much to do today…going to just lay low for a while and hang out…I will be back with some politics to kind of recap the Iowa nonsense…more later…
January 3rd
Well…up early again this morning and I feel a little out of it like normal…it was an okay day yesterday with State winning in OT but the rest of the Big Ten really sucked and they lost every other game…at least we still have Michigan playing tonight and the Wings are on, too, so that will be a good way to pass the time…winter is finally here and it is 19 degrees outside…I know it was coming but that doesn’t make it any easier…it was nice to go out to watch part of the State game yesterday just to get out of here…not much to do today…going to just hang out here today and then have to meet up with T later and I am looking forward to that…and I am already 2 behind for the month so I’ll be back here to get caught up…more later…
Oh, I did want to say happy birthday to Stephen Stills and John Paul Jones…
January 2nd
Well…it was a long day yesterday and the Lions lost so that put a damper on the day somewhat…but it was a good game so that was a plus…and I didn’t sleep all that well so I’m dragging some today….just sitting here thinking if I should go and clear the snow from the car and go out for the papers but it’s cold and I don’t want to…not much to do today but football and more football…and the winter classic outdoor hockey game…so I should be able to keep myself amused…who knows if I’ll be back for another one…I will try, though…
Okay…I feel like I’ve been cheating for the last couple of weeks and need to get my act together here…the problem has been that I just don’t have a lot to say right now…I did go out and get the papers and I’ve already worked out so that basically finishes up what I had planned to do for the day…I guess I could clean up the kitchen before the football starts but I’m just going to cook again later so maybe that should wait…see…not really anything to say so I’ll stop, again….
January 1st
Well…another night and a good Wings win so I feel better than I should…no, that’s not true…it was such a chore to just go out and get the paper that I think I may have to take a rest…there is an Ab Fab marathon on so that will be good to do for the day as I rest here and heal the wounds…and no, there is nothing earth shaking or revelatory that I’m going to put down here just because it’s the start of a new year…it’s just another day to me…I will come back later to add to this one but right now I need more coffee and the couch…
Finishing the year…
Well…I was going to do a political one to end the year…or maybe a wrap up on how bad the year has been..but then I saw the coolest sunset in the way home and could almost smile again…it was filled with blues, pinks, purples, and reds and all I could do was marvel at how neat it was….and I won at pool for the first time in 4 weeks but we both were really off our games but it was still fun…turned the car over to 291 thousand miles on the way home and I think there may be something there but I don’t know what that is…..okay…this was kind of a filler to get to the goal but it meant something to me so maybe that’s enough? Happy New Year and I’ll talk to you tomorrow…
December 31st
Well….it’s the last day of the year and I really don’t know what the significance is….it seems that all of my days just run together and it is just a Saturday for me…it was an okay day yesterday but nothing happened other than coffee and newspapers…I did have cocktails last night so I don’t feel that hot today but I will get a ride in this morning that will help..the Wings looked bad last night and lost to the Blackhawks but they play again tonight so maybe they can redeem themselves…I did have dreams last night but they were crappy so I won’t share right now…not much to do today…just going to hunker down here and hang out for the day and night..might clean some but I’m not really motivated to do that right now…it’s a good thought but that’s just it…a thought, nothing else…I will be back later for one more since I need it to make the quota…I do need to get back to Man U since they are behind to Blackburn…yow…
December 30th
Well…had a pretty nice day yesterday with lunch with T being the highlight and then a few cocktails last night so I feel a little crappy today…not really, just tired from the poor sleep and flopping around all night. It’s almost another month gone and still no bites on the job front and I am getting numb from the process….I hope that January will be better and someone will think that I have something to offer….still haven’t given up hope but it does get harder every day to keep a happy face on it…oh, well….not much to do today…I do have to go back to Meijers since I came into some money yesterday and I need coffee and some other stuff…but that is about it…the Wings do play tonight so that will be something to look forward to and it looks like I’ll be able to get a bike ride in, too so maybe it won’t be such a bad day…more later…
